The pins B as they move outward pass through the slots G in the rear plate B of the device and through the slots H in the slidable centering device I' and also through the slots J in the spring actuated member K, which is attached to the door L.

M are projections which with the rear plate Bform tracks in which slides the ccntering member I, having an opening N through which the light may pass, and hav- -ng flanges O on which rests the film when running through the machine. Said centering device l is adjusted through suitable mechanism operated by the revolving shaft S which carries a thumb wheel U fbi' this purpose. lVhen the film is placed in the machine its upper and lower ledge may reg' ister with the opening N, or it may not7 and if not it will be impossible to see all of the picture, but by raising or lowering the centering device I the opening N will be brought to such position that the rays of light will pass through the parts of the picture.

:The door L having the hinge members V is attached to the hinge members lV mounted on the rear plate B. This door is held in its closed position by the latch X. On the inner face of the door L are formed the ridges Y which when the door is closed will be parallel with the flanges O on the centering member I. In this door are` formed the openings Z and A2, one of which is directly above the other. VIn the opening Z is placed a ground glass B2 which has a ange C2 formed therewith adapted to rest against the front face of the door, and' between this liange and the door are placed the llat springs D2, one end of each being secured to the door, as at E2, the tendency of these springs D2 is to force the glass B2 outward,and in order that it may be held inward until a predetermined time, I provide a frame F2 which rests against the outer surface of the [lange C2 and this frame has lugs G2 formed with the upper portion thereof which rests between the lugs H2 formed with the upper end of the door and through which passes the pin l2, having a spring J2 coiled about the same, a portlon of which rests against the frame F2 and another portion against the door, thus normally holding said frame to the door.

lVith'the lower portion of the frame is formed a depending arm K2 through which is threaded a screw L2, said screw being of sul'iicient length to pass through the opening M2 in the door and the onening N2 in Ithe plate B. the inner end ofthis screw rests in proximity to the releasing pin O2,

' which is secured'to the free end of the spring P2, said sprin r being fastened to the late B. As the cam p ate Z moves toward t e rear plate B it will come in contact with the releasing pin O2 causing it to move outward at which time it will move said screw outward, and as this is threaded into the arm K2 of the frame F2, said frame will move outward, at which time the springs D2 will move the glass B2 outward releasing the pressure upon the film.

:In the opening A2 is placed the spring actuated member K', and this is held in the opening in any suitable manner, but here shown as being attached to the springs Q2, the ends of which are fastened to the door.

tions in the film, said lm will go or move away from said pins until they are full inserted, at which time the springs Q2 will cause the spring actuated member K to move back to place, returning the film to its proper position.

In the front plate A, is formed an open ing, and against the back of this plate is passes. In said housing S2 may be fitted suitable slides having the projecting arms Y2 which pass through the cover A and to a number of these arms are secured the knobs B3 the one nearer the front of the mathe ends of the other arms, and the knob in the nextarm resting in the notch formed in the rear arm, so that by taking hold of the knob on the arm farthest front and vmoving it inward, it resting against the other arms, will' cause them to move inward andl when they are in their innermost position, by taking hold of the knob on the rear arm, they will all be caused to move outward. To the rear of the housing S2 is secured the casing Dx through which passes the light to the shown in Fig. 10.

In order that thelight may be admitted to the different openings at the correct time, I provide a shutter F3 mounted on the shaft I3 which passes through the machine and is held rotatably therein. Gn the shaft I3 is secured a housing S2 through which light.

opening E3 in the rear plate B ,which is'I 0n the front face front wall ismountuntil 1t comes in Contact with the screw L2,

lVhen the pinsB pass into the perfora- Vchine resting in the notches C3 formed in los mounted a worm gear V3 which meshes with i aol retiree.

brackets, in which is mounted the carrying the. lower film spool O. shaft is also mounted the bevel meshing with` the bevel pinion E* on the shaft Ft carrying thebevel gear Un this gear lt mounted INI ,l

which meshes with the gear H. In this' Way ,motion is .given to the film spool O mounted on the shaft Ct.

HJX denotes a grooved'wheel also mounted on the shaft C over which` runs the belt. .l4 which also runs over the ,grooved pulley lt mounted on the shaft l't, on which is mounted the Winder L* adapted to receive thevilm after being exposed or exhibited.

M4 is a shaft similar to the shaft "lf, rying a projection lf2-to which is attacher one end' or' the spring O", the opposite end being secured to ascrew l.4 mounted on the brackets Bt. @n the opposite end of the shaft. Mt'is mounted a lever Q4' carrying a shat't lt, on which is journaled the grooved pulleys St.

ln practice the placed in ,a light tight casing so thatno light will come inY contact with the tilms except thatwhich passes through suitable openings 4and only at the time'when the shutter is not covering said openings.

The operation of the device is as tollows:-'l`he main sha'tt l" is revolved in son'ievsuitable manner, which through the medium ot the gearing will cause the spools (l carrying the film to revolve, at the same time causing the pins B through the medium ot the cam S and adjacent members to enter the pert'orations of the film, pull it down and then let go, aty which time the spring;v actuated member K and the glass B2 will come in contact with the lilm and hold it steady, and when this tilm is standing still the shutter F3 will open the opening R2 alltnving` the light to pass through the openii'igs 'lf2 in the housing,r Si through the casing .5 and the openings lil and N to the tilm. This operation will either print or take pictures.

ln taking the pictures, a leus is placed in the ojviening Z3 and a tilm run from 'the film spools between the door and bac-lt plate. .ln this case light has been entering from the front of the machine, but to reproduce tho pictures upon a sheet-the light is placed at the back of the machine and the tilm allowed to run the same as ity would at other times.

Of coursel do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction here shown as these maybe varied within the limits ot theappended claims without departing` trom the spirit ot' my invention.
